11 uJosiya owayenguyise kaJekhoniya labafowabo ngesikhathi bethunjwe eBhabhiloni.
and Yushiya the father of Yukanya and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.
12 Emva kokuthunjwa eBhabhiloni: uJekhoniya wayenguyise kaSheyalithiyeli, uSheyalithiyeli uyise kaZerubhabheli,
And after the exile to Babylon, Yukanya was the father of Shelatheil, and Shelatheil the father of Zurbabel,

17 Ngokunjalo-ke, kwakulezizukulwane ezilitshumi lane sezizonke kusukela ku-Abhrahama kusiya kuDavida, ezilitshumi lane kusukela kuDavida kusiya ekuthunjweni yiBhabhiloni njalo ezilitshumi lane kusukela ekuthunjweni kusiya kuKhristu.
So all the generations from Avraham to Dawid are fourteen generations; and from Dawid to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the exile to Babylon to the Meshikha, fourteen generations.
18 UJesu Khristu wazalwa kanje: Unina uMariya wayethembise ukuthi uzakwendela kuJosefa kodwa kwathi bengakahlangani wabonakala esezithwele kwenziwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Now the birth of Yeshua Meshikha happened like this. His mother Maryam had been engaged to Yauseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Rukha d'Qudsha.
19 Ngoba umkakhe uJosefa wayeyindoda elungileyo emthethweni, njalo engafuni ukumyangisa ebantwini, wacabanga ukumala ngasese.
And Yauseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 Uthe esekucabangile lokhu, kwafika kuye ingilosi yeNkosi ephutsheni yathi, “Josefa ndodana kaDavida, ungesabi ukuthatha uMariya ukuba abe ngumkakho ngoba lokhu akhulelwe ngakho kuvela kuMoya oNgcwele.
But when he thought about these things, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Yauseph, son of Dawid, do not be afraid to take to yourself Maryam, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Rukha d'Qudsha.
21 Uzabeletha indodana ozayetha ibizo uthi nguJesu ngoba uzasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.”
And she will bring forth a son, and you are to name him Yeshua, for he will save his people from their sins."
22 Konke lokhu kwenzakala ukuze kugcwaliseke okwatshiwo yiNkosi ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Intombi egcweleyo izakhulelwa izale indodana, bayibize ngokuthi ngu-Emanuweli” (okutsho ukuthi, “uNkulunkulu ulathi”).
"Look, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call his name Amanuil;" which is translated, "God with us."
24 UJosefa esevukile ebuthongweni wenza lokho ingilosi yeNkosi eyayimlaye khona, wamthatha uMariya waba ngumkakhe.
And Yauseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 Kodwa kazange embathe laye waze wabeletha indodana. Wayetha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Yeshua.
